I am 46 and my hearing is right in line with what I should be able to hear. 12,000 Hz Could not hear 15,000 at all. Kind of freaky.

(28,968 posts)It went up at 8,12 and 15 but remained flat above that so you are probably correct. My computer only detects up to 15,000 hz

(34,589 posts)which removes high frequencies. If you look carefully, it says you must watch at 1080 and wear headphones for accurate results - I guess 1080 has less audio compression.

(30,252 posts)I do have a small bit of tinnitus, but the 15kHz tone was still fairly distinct in my ears. 16kHz, however, was the breaking point.
